hi guys my garandfather wants to go to the track one more time before as he says its to late
with his hospital treatments
his schedule is limited

he wants to sit in the backyard at a picnic table

he wants to go thursday

do you think i would have to reserve one if we are going to go up at 1030 or 11?
thank you
thomas

i think this mite be the last time out for my pops
kind of sad
so if anyone knows thanks again

p s i just figured on a thursday i wouldnt have any trouble geting one
i hope im right

Good luck Thomas, hope everything works out for your grandfather "OTO". Hopefully someone will pass along a little advice. Im in Texas and know nothing of the Spa....someone will chime in Im sure.

Why take a chance, reserve one as you can do now, plus they are in a better area by the paddock.

You will have no problem getting a picnic table on Thursday. No need to reserve one.

I agree. Why risk it, just reserve it? Obviously he is older and surely moving slower, why have to worry or rush?

Thomas-
I am proud of you for taking him there. I learned to like him (a lot) through his posts. Must be a helluva guy! All the best and good luck!
Terry

Get a reservation. You dont want this to happen:

Stay Safe!

to minn skinny [terry] and mark 2061mn[mark] and people i forgot
 

and to everyone who chimed in to help me thank you very much
we got it figured out for the table on thursday
and on a side note
i know i will be forgetting people here please dont get mad
but terry who always responds to me just seems like a stand up guy never had the pleasure to meet him and never would without this site

and to mark who private messeged me with such a kind offer
you dont meet people like this out there

this site is so much more then just horses
you make freinds
thats whats it all about too

we have been told my pops has 3 months left
so his wish is to go one more time
a shell of himself in body
but sharp as a tack in mind
thank you for all the kind words about him and thank you to everyone for putting up with our posts
some of them crazy like the last one someone gave me a kind nudge to make me laugh
good luck this year guys

Remind him that he totally kicked ass last year when he switched to playing doubles and pick 3's. His heater was EPIC!

You just had a feeling he would go on a bat last Saratoga. It was awesome. My dad cashed the last bet he made at Saratoga. Here's hoping he does too.

:tro:

Hope you both rock the windows on Thursday. I still remember my last Spa Day with my late Mom. It was a long time ago. She bet Fourstardave as a 2yo that day, because my brother is named Dave. It's wonderful that you and he can share Saratoga.

I so hope he has a great time!! He is a wonderful gentlemen. Good luck and safe travels!!!

thank you all for kind words
 

troubling wwe are still at the dialeces place
hope to get there
thanks again
